Hmmm... for some reason, I feel the need to share this worthless tactic.
Can't get monty python working quite right? Does that ship keep turning around? Well, here's a little tip....
Lock a tractor beam on to a ship that you're engaging.... if you do it correctly, they will not have fired on your at tractor beam range. Now, fly away with the tractor beam still attached to the target. After you've been going for a little bit, release the tractor beam. What happens? Well, the ship is following you at your exact speed with a PERFECT distance between you two. Fire at will.
Enjoy.
